Instant book is available for guests who meet Airbnb’s booking requirements. You can also require a "Recommendation from other hosts" as part of your house rules.
By checking the "Recommendation from other hosts" checkbox, you allow instant bookings only for guests who stayed on Airbnb and received positive host reviews. Guests without any reviews can make an instant bookings if they completed a stay without incident or a negative review.
Guests who don't meet these requirements submit a request to book. The host must manually review and accept the reservation request before confirming the booking.
Follow the instructions to set your verification policy in the listing's house rules.
Sometimes your listing isn’t visible on Airbnb, but shows as active, listed, and connected in Guesty. This happens when “Experienced Guest Only” was selected when the listing was first published.
You have two options to resolve this issue:
- Change the listing's booking policy to Instant Book.
-
Update which guests can book the property:
On Airbnb, click your profile photo and select Account > Your first guest > Any Airbnb guest.
